Porn filmmaker is Lib Dems' hope for winning Tory seat
AN AWARD-WINNING female porn director has been appointed as a parliamentary hopeful for the Liberal Democrats.
Anna Arrowsmith – managing director of adult entertainment company Easy on the Eye Productions – will stand for election in Gravesham, Kent.
Mrs Arrowsmith, who works under the pseudonym Anna Span, started making porn films after graduating from art school in 1998.
The 38-year-old, who lives with her husband, Tim, and their dogs in Groombridge, near Tunbridge Wells, insisted she was ready to win Tory Adam Holloway's seat at the general election.
Mrs Arrowsmith, who has an MA in philosophy, said she was spurred into standing for election by the MPs' expenses scandal and a belief that women are under-represented in Parliament.
She said: "If people don't know what I do for a living then they would never know. The local party and people who I have so far met have seen that I'm very driven."
